Terminal Help

[tmbenson]

OK, i know what im asking should not really be done, but the machines i have created are for pupil use, and they have absolutly no need to use terminal, or should i say, i dont want them to use terminal.

 

Is there a way to "lock" terminal?

 

Any help would be appreciated,

 

Thanks,

In ubuntu there is a lockdown editor that can be added on. Not sure how well that will work though.

 

Aside from that, can you not just create a new user with a very tied down account?

Thanks

Add/remove applications

 

Search for lockdown

 

Install "lockdown editor"

 

The it appears in "System > Administration > Lockdown Editor"

 

And there's a tick box to disable terminal (command line)

You could always chance the default shell for the users... something b0rk3n should be good and it will prevent use of the terminal.
